Yeah, a friend of mine in high school said it had the biggest surprise ending EVER.

Turns out that kid was just an idiot, I did not find 1984 all that ground breaking after I was finished.


I actually didn't like it the first time I read it. I had to do a linguistic literary analysis on it in college, and then absolutely loved it. I also plan to teach it, so I think I have a little of a bias.




The one book I hated, but it had sooo many good reviews, was 'Bring Up the Bodies' by Hillary Mantel. It was boring as fuck.

Maybe she want. I think this please. I will probably show up when you are going to be there and calling and they are people okay alright. Bye bye."

1984 was so boring. It took me like 3 months to read it because I had to keep stopping because boredom.

From a linguist perspective, it was very interesting. We broke down the creation of words/phrases that had leaked into everyday vernacular. I also appreciated the whole idea of 'big brother' considering we actually do see it now. /endnerdrant

All of them. Books are for losers.
